Amenazaomar...Its not because nobody wanted to answer your question, I believe that the boards here are very quiet on the weekends. Feel free to post anytime but have patients or is it patience? -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it! Ivan Montreal Canada

Cross one leg behind the opposite calf, and hold a dumbbell with that hand. Now, raise up to your toes and and back down for reps, not all the way to the floor. Great pumping exercise.
